Are they shocked though? It's getting common for piracy sites to disappear or move to different domains, there are always alternatives
No but Millenial journalism needs their shiti headline writing convention...
Say Thank you they didn't "slam" something
I see the entire article as simply a community reminder that free anime streaming is out there for interested parties.
Lord's work indeed
You know we're right here, right?
'Millenials are ruining headlines' is a level of meta I've yet to see from that trope.
This has an implication that headlines were better before which I didn't suggest
You used the term 'millennial journalism' in reference to shitty headlines. That pretty directly implies that millenials are responsible for shitty headlines.
That said: whoa nelly, my comment was a joke, not an argument. A pretty flaccid joke too, to warrant this kind of defense. I'm not your enemy, alright?
One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
It's always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It's not a rocket science problem, it's just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse
animeflix wasn't even the best anime streaming site in my opinion. Sorry it's gone, but there's excellent options out there right now.
Please don't mention any good anime sites, i don't want it to be taken down due to too many users.
I doubt Lemmy has the traffic or searchibility to make that a realistic concern.
And they're literally on dbzer0 that has a wiki describing every streaming site.
My anime site of choice is a UI nightmare filled with ads and banners. Super ugly and bloated. And it just happens to contain pretty much every animated show or movie in history. It's been around for over a decade now. I've gotta think the shittiness is intentional to avoid suspicion.
I like aniwave and hasn't let me down.
Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.

Except if you're Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
Wouldn't go that far... They knocked out yuzu's money machine but i doubt it's gone as an emulator and ryujinx exists
Well I hope you're right
Im definitely right ;D. Yuzu is still as available as ever if me quick Grand line search counts for anything.
But that doesn’t please the shareholders or appease the apparently ever more concerning necessity for infinitely growing profits.
It was a sad period to see one thing that worked so great fragment like this
I thought they were talking about nyaa.si for a second but thankfully not.

As they continue to make life harder for paying customers more people will stop paying
I don’t disagree, but these weren’t paying customers
My point was that making life harder for non paying customers doesn't negate the fact that they make life harder for paying customers.
A bootlicker wouldn't understand this
Yeah. I legally owned most of the seasons of South Park. Then their parent company was sold to whoever owns Paramount+ and I can't legally buy seasons anymore. I have to subscribe to Paramount+ instead. I'm just gonna pirate that shit.
Not to mention some episodes ended up banned. I don't remember the season, but there was an episode where Kyle joined a cult and the super rescue team was composed of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and some other religious figures.
There's also the Hollywood celebrities episode. Tom Cruise is canonically in space in South Park. You just wouldn't really know why unless you saw the banned episodes.
Correct they were non paying customer who were dissatisfied with the quality of service
They voted with their feet!
Instead of being an idiot and funding your enemy, they took direct action.
They deserve our respect and support
I never said anything critical of the users, I just thought the OP might have missed that detail. I pirate stuff sometimes when it’s not easy or reasonably priced to buy.
I didnt even know this particular site existed, but who cares? I dun' been piratin since the days of napster. I ordered shitty cds of DBZ from the internet when amazon was a fucking bookstore. besides, anyone who knows knows there's a constant refreshed list of piracy sites. And anyone who knows knows how to search for "free media.
heck yeah" they do.
I dun' been piratin since the days of napster.

EDIT: Ok, something that really caught my attention in the article: In April, (...) Japanese authorities arrested and prosecuted China-based owners of "one of the biggest illegal anime websites," B9GOOD. - Now THAT is unexpected. China complying with Japanese copyright for a change?
I've been using the same anime/manga torrenting site since the mid 2000s and I can't believe it's still up. Gonna be a sad day when it finally closes down.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of anime fans were shocked Thursday when the popular piracy site Animeflix voluntarily shut down without explaining why, TorrentFreak reported.
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Animeflix," the site's operators told users in a Discord with 35,000 members.
Although Animeflix operators did not connect the dots for users, TorrentFreak suggested that the piracy site chose to shut down after facing "considerable legal pressure in recent months."
Then in mid-May, rightsholders—including Netflix, Disney, Universal, Paramount, and Warner Bros.—won an injunction through the High Court of India against several piracy sites, including Animeflix.
On Reddit, some fans also complained after relying exclusively on Animeflix to keep track of where they left off on anime shows that often span hundreds of episodes.
“We hope the joy and excitement of anime continue to brighten your days through other wonderful platforms," Animeflix's Discord message said.
The original article contains 510 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fuck. I thought they meant kimcartoon. Phew, carry on, carry on.
edit I get it, this doesn't replace a p2p site. I was just watching Frieren via piratebay and thought it was so awesome that I wanted that the makers of it get some money from me watching it so I switched to crunchyroll.
I used it for a while, until they put some old shows (1990 era) I was in the middle of watching behind a paywall.
I get it for new shows, but I was happily watching old stuff with ads blocked by ad-block.
Theres probably a reason for the change, but I can't guess why. /s
They were also down every other week, so I wasn't going to pay for something I could only use 75% of the time.
Mehh their web player was pretty awful back when I used it and wasn't worth the subscription.
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
You sound like you're great at parties
Yea cause I don't smell like anime fans
How dare Japan have their own forms of entertainment!
You realize weebs are losers there too right?
They have plenty of non-anime related entertainment
Look, I know there exists a certain stereotype of the "Weeb", as an overweight bearded man obsessed with Anime, unemployed, living in his parent's basement surrounded by hentai posters and waifu body pillows. I've met this kind of person before, they do exist.
But this is still just a stereotype, and it absolutely does not apply to the vast majority of Anime watchers. I know plenty of professionally and socially successful people who love geeking out about Anime. It's really hard to think of any of them as losers.
The real losers I've met in life are the intensely negative assholes that always have an excuse for hating other people. The people who decide that everyone who likes something they don't must be stupid. Nothing says "loser" like your brand of antisocial close-mindedness.
If it makes you feel better thinking everyone else is a loser, more power to you, but everyone else sees who the real loser is.
Sounds like cope from a weeb (loser),
To be a loser, you must first lose something. Like your sense of wonder and virginity.
Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:
That's a whole lot of losers for one small country.
Of course, that's just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is... the exact same anime, followed by another anime.
In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb
Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?
Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn't suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.
May I remind you of your original comment:
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
I didn’t make that comment, I think you’re in the wrong thread
For one, they're not weebs they're just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it's mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn't have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.
And that's all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.
I don't watch anime, but let everyone watch what they want. Even if they like to watch the "most degenerate" versions of Hentai. I don't fucking care.
It bleeds into other media
While you hate anime for no reason whatsoever, I hate you for hating something for no reason whatsoever. My hate still makes more sense.
I don’t know if you meant this as a joke but it’s legitimately funny.
